skep professor emeritus of international history at the london school of economics founder of the u.k. independence party and the new deal party here a skeptic welcome back to my show it's great to have you with us alan. hello thank you as the bracks at negotiations get on their way between the u.k. and the e.u. european politicians are saying that a door back into the union is open but that it will be a brand new door that the u.k. will still lose money if it wants back in why is russia has taken this position i mean does it also want the katoey war is it just making an example of the u.k. oh i think it's just playing games i mean this new prospects of the returning to the. specially if the conditions all that we would give up are rebates and we would also have to give up our op. ed the saying the reinforces the impression i have the no way that we can go back now. who holds to cards in the negotiations right now. well i think both sides have different cards so the hold on the brits you saw is the main one is money. when we leave will stop paying about ten billion a year into the e.u

professor tony travers of the london school of economic. er voters made of this election, and what are the keyissues of this election, and what are the key issues for them? especially those in the 18 to 24—year—old bracket. it's difficult to decide who to vote for, because, like, everyone on social media influencing your votes. i've seen what our generation has voted for. quite a lot of people scroll through facebook, pick up one headline they like, and before they know it, that's what they are voting for, and don't take any consideration to anything else.|j think social media is really good because it is allowing voices that wouldn't necessarily be heard to be heard, both from young people themselves and politicians. i'm optimistic a higher number of young people will turn out to vote. there's a people will turn out to vote. there'sa certain people will turn out to vote. there's a certain passion driving young citizens to be passionate and active and say, i'm going to stand up active and say, i'm going to stand up and be counted, so i defin

with me is lorenzo codogno, london school of economics and political science and lc macro advisors ltdrning. thank you for coming in. let's have a talk about what is likely to be in this speech. many are saying it will be brexit heavy. in many ways it will be watered down because there is still no deal with the democratic unionist party. that would represent some kind of what went down is supposed to what could have been expected. clearly, the vote was about brexit. we are coming from a referendum so clearly brexit will be the focus of the speech although i doubt there will be clear messages. it will take a while before the messages become clear. it will be general. maybe more on the fiscal stance. when it comes to the uk economy, the chancellor is an britain is weary of austerity after seven britain is weary of austerity after seve n yea rs britain is weary of austerity after seven years and mike cunning, the governor of the bank of england saying we are likely to be hit by the costs of brexit. what will be in the costs of brexit. what will be in the speech to try to give the people a

i want to introduce you to somebody from the london school of economics. hello to you again.hink, that negotiators will need to bearin think, that negotiators will need to bear in mind? there are a number of things regarding agriculture. one of those things is going to be whether or not they will maintain the availability of seasonal labour. a number of those seasonal labourers come from other eu countries, and there are some sectors of british agriculture which are heavily dependent on them, such as horticulture. something else that british negotiators will need to focus on is what the new tariff arrangements are going to be when britain leaves the european union. that will require discussions not just with the european union go see but also with the world trade organisation and a number of different talks. complex do you think and uncharted waters? yes, absolutely. and the british government will also need to decide belatedly if it wants to replace, and how it will do so, the subsidy scheme of the common agricultural policy, more than £6 billion a year. yes, it is a lot of

i'm joined with the chair of contemporary middle eastern studies at the london school of economics and author of "isis: a history." let's talk about this decision with qatar who just announced they're hiring attorney general ashcroft to head this audit. what is the significance of this move, do you think? >> qatar is terrified. they are very anxious. here you have the president of the united states, which basically has one of the largest military bases in qatar, accusing qatar of financing terrorism in very blunt words. not only that, saudi arabia, the emirates and other states are accused of supporting and financing terrorist organizations. these are very serious concerns and the qataris is trying to clear the air, basically mushing back against the accusation. the united states has sided bluntly with saudi arabia and its allies against qatar. what the americans are trying to do, what the white house and the state department, even though there are some differences in tone, they're trying to push and pressure qatar to accept the demands of saudi arabia and its allies. and the demands a

let's get out to a professor from the london school of economics. he joins us on the phone thank you for joining us, mr. pissarides what's your reaction to the deal >> it's a good deal under the circumstances. i'm very positive about linking repayments to economic growth which is a proposal that i and others have been making for a long time. rather than requiring the greeks to repay a certain amount of debt independently, to link it to performance of the economy. if what la guard was saying, had that been adopted it would have been more positive payme we know germany has stronger position to that what they adopted is the next best thing, which is the french proposal now to link repayment i'm interested to hear what the economic commissioner was saying he's been there for a long time under hollande hollande wasn't saying positive things suddenly macron is there he started saying this positive thing. then we'll help greece i think it's the first example that we see from macron about his pro european stance that he's going to take what he said in the e

industry and the work we have done in this area, working with everyone from academics from the london school of economicsof thousands recruiting people to our sample, that count of work has paid dividends in this election and i think points to the future of the industry. it is all about algorithms, computers and modelling thatis algorithms, computers and modelling that is much more sophisticated than in the past? the old days of knocking on doors or stopping people on the street and asking who they will vote for will not produce accurate results any more. because a lot of people my! that is a whole other debate! i saw that in the states and i have seen it here. good to see you. many thanks. let's take a look at some of tomorrow's front pages. the financial times has as its main story theresa may's weakened position on brexit after the election result. the daily mirror leads with theresa may's government alliance with the dup. the i calls theresa may's decision to call a snap general election ‘a catastrophic misjudgement‘. the times headline reads ‘may stares into the abyss'. they say the prime minister w

london school of economics, liverpool and southampton are all members of the elite russell group, but me is rachel hall, editor of the guardian's higher education network. first of all, what is the point of the teaching excellent framework, why would it introduced? the government thought that the university ‘s worst to focus on researching rather than teaching, because it receives a lot of funding for it. so they wanted to focus again on teaching. but they have done it without any original research, it is all data they have collated from universities themselves. yes, it's the selection of six different measures which include responses to the national student survey, dropout rates and also graduate outcomes. and then thatis also graduate outcomes. and then that is provided with the quality inspections, but there is no inspections, but there is no inspection regime, it is not 0fsted, no one is looking at individual lecturers. it's quite controversial and quite subjective, student outcomes, who has got a job, that may be nothing to do with teaching as they are perceived. that's one of th

while you have got institutions like the london school of economics, in the bronze bottom category, you'vee's perceptions of what a good university in the uk looks like. people's perceptions of what a good university in the uk looks likem it really going to change perceptions? if you have got a prospective student thinking lse versus coventry, one would imagine they would rather go to lse. it's certainly the case that pelissie remains a very good university and would be a passport to a good career but there are a couple of things. this has got a government stamp of approval, it's a government led exercise and i think that's going to be influential, particularly for international students who cannot access the same interesting information that the uk people can. teaching standards are important, a lot of people complain they do not have enough contact hours in university and staff are too focused on research. this is a message that gives you a different take on the uk's higher education. how much was each university actually investigated in terms of its teaching? this is the problem, it's b

good morning, maria, from the london school of economics.he eu and finally the subsidies farmers get from the agricultural policy. and it will be watched very closely by the agriculture sector because it has been so intrinsically linked with subsidies over the last 40 years? absolutely. the uk farmers received £2.6 billion worth of subsidies this year, from the common agricultural policy, and especially for smaller farm holdings that can be quite significant in their overall income. thank you very much, dr chen, for joining us this morning. we have a good crowd of farmers, local business owners to talk to us this morning later this morning. i am not quite sure what the weather will do. a bit of sun, a bit of clout, not quite sure what the weather will be like for ducks, but we will try to see if we can train a sheep dog to herd ducks later. as long as the ducks are ok! we are here in westminster this morning for a special edition of bbc breakfast. we will tell you about the weather and other news as well, but we are trying to get to the bott

we be talking to a representative of the london school of economics, maria, good morning.what happened next. what are the challenges, the things that need to be in the minds of the negotiators. the three key areas that will have to be looked at first will be the availability of seasonal labourers and what happens when britain leaves the eu. some sectors of agriculture are heavily dependent on workers from the european union such as the horticultural sector. the second area will be the terror threat levels that will be in place. and since they will need to be discussed either at the world trade organisation, and finally there will be some kind of replacement of the subsidies scheme that operates through the common agricultural policy right now. complicated negotiations? you smile as if to say definitely. definitely complicated and two years will be a very tight time frame in which to sort the regulations out. and relearning for the industry, for those people holding the purse strings. the £2.6 billion that come in subsidies every year from the common agricultural policy wil

with me is linda yueh, who is professor of economics at the london business school. f fairness, in a country with such a huge population, how can china ensure that all of it's population benefit equally from globalisation? in some ways, china has already managed globalisation somewhat better than other countries. china is on the cusp of eradicating extreme poverty. it means that there could be, less than 3% who live on a dollar 95 per day. so, in absolute terms, growth in china is already more inclusive. but there is still this idea that china is not an equal society. the political backlash we have seen in other countries, such as in europe or the united states, where it is felt that globalisation benefits ridiculous sectors, that inequality can lead to political unrest. that is something that china is very worried about. more importantly, china has begun to take a global role on the world stage to say, this is how we should change globalisation. it is partially a reaction to donald trump pulling back. but i think china's track record is not as good, they are as unequ

here with me now is professor tony travers from the london school of economics. local authorities gave over the housing to housing associations, not—for—profit companies and in this case and a number of others, to a te na nt case and a number of others, to a tenant management organisation, arms length from the council, separate and responsible for the work on it. nevertheless, running the housing as if for the council. so there is still a link back to the council because it is their property. it is them who are responsible for nominating tenants into the building. ok, but where does the book fall? it is complicated and too early to draw any conclusions because in an incident like this, the fire brigade will have responsibilities for giving advice on how a building like this should be protected against fire. the organisation that runs it, the management organisation will be responsible for reacting to that and then the fire brigade to inspecting that. all of this within central government setting rules to do with building standards. when the prime minister promise

that what you learned at the london school of economics rather than basic economics? >> whoa! ken -- the kind of obamacare reform and tax reform that you're talking about, that would be taken as a win not necessarily by the freedom caucus of the republicans, but it would be taken as a win by the stock market and by ordinary investors and voters? >> yeah. and they've got to have something because right now what is going on is the president and the congress keep outflanking each other, and every time congress thinks that they're on the same page with the president, he goes off in a different direction. this week is a slight representation of that. but, yes, it is still within the space -- basically, he has 30 days. he has 35 or 40 days at the most now that if he can stop with the tweets, if he can be more disciplined, if he can calm down, if he can work with congress and push this agenda through,s there is a chance that -- stuart: wait a second. you're putting all the onus on the president. >> right. stuart: surely, some should be on the republican party that it performs the way
